The Obalon Balloon Capsule System

The unique weight management solution designed to fit your lifestyle. No surgery, no downtime – only results.

Take control of your weight with the proven-effective Obalon Balloon Capsule, the only non-surgical gastric balloon approved by the FDA. This revolutionary new clinical process helps people lose weight safely and consistently. The Obalon Balloon Capsule is an innovative, FDA-approved, non-surgical weight loss option for people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 and higher. This weight loss treatment has been shown to facilitate significant weight loss when used with a clinically-supervised nutrition and exercise program.

The Obalon Balloon Capsule Difference

Unlike other bariatric procedures, the Obalon Balloon Capsule is a totally non-surgical treatment program requiring no general anesthesia. Typical installation time is under 10 minutes. The Obalon Balloon Capsule is a revolutionary solution for patients who struggle to achieve significant weight loss but who are not looking for surgical alternatives. The balloon doesn’t require unconscious sedation, and it is performed as an outpatient procedure. It is installed by swallowing a capsule, which is inflated with a proprietary nitrogen gas through a micro-catheter. The balloons are designed to remain in an inflated state for the duration of the 6-month treatment period. The balloons inflate to approximately the size of an orange, and weigh only 6 grams.

They remain suspended at the top of the stomach, giving the patient a feeling of satiety, so less food is consumed throughout the day. The Obalon Balloon Capsule offers continual weight loss support – both while the balloons are installed and after they are extracted. The process is precisely engineered to maximize safe, long-term weight management without any surgical intervention or permanent modifications of the digestive system. During clinical trials, patients lost an average of 15lbs, with some losing as much as 50lbs, during a 12-week treatment program – approximately 7 % of their total body weight. Furthermore, after one year, patients reported that nearly 90 % of their weight loss was maintained.

I went in for surgery. An hour later, I came out a new man.

Everybody treated me like a king. The day of surgery, I was excited. The hospital couldn’t be any nicer. I went in for surgery. An hour later, I came out a new man. My recovery was awesome. I was out of bed that day. My wife and kids were my motivation on getting this surgery. They are my whole life. I’m happy I’m going to be around for them.

I hit my goal weight ... and I feel fabulous

I had the gastric bypass. I am Type 2 Diabetic and I wanted to gain control of my sugar. I hit my goal weight in about 5 and half months and I feel fabulous. The procedure has completely changed my life for the better because it has empowered me as a middle aged woman that I can really do everything and anything that I want to do. I don't put an age on anything. I don't say I'm too old for something.

I was tired of the way I looked. I was tired of the way I felt.

I knew if I didn't change something soon, I was going to be in a lot of trouble. The consultation process was a lot easier than I expected. I was met with open arms. I was treated like I was the only patient here. Not only did they answer all of my questions, they had questions for me to make sure I was the right candidate for the surgery. After surgery and that weight started dropping off, my life started changing for the better.

I feel like a completely different person.

I had the gastric sleeve procedure. The driving factor behind me getting this procedure was my health. I didn't feel good physically or mentally. I had joint pains, even standing was difficult sometimes. Emotionally, this surgery completely turned my life around. I have so much more confidence. So much more happiness. I feel like a completely different person. I feel stronger. I feel able to accomplish more.

It saved my life.

The driving factor behind me getting my procedure was that I couldn't get up off the floor with my granddaughter. That was my why. That was my big reason for having this surgery done. After surgery, it was a little bit of a struggle with what to eat. What you put in your mouth that you don't even think about. You don't think about what you're eating or how you're eating and portion size. It's what I do now every single day. The procedure has changed my life in so many ways. It saved my life.
